Suunto EON - Diver Safety

The eects of gradient factors on the dive profile
GF Low % eect on dive profile is illustrated in the following picture. It shows how GF Low %
determines the depth where the ascent starts slowing down and the depth of the first
decompression stop. The illustration shows how the dierent GF Low % values change the
depth of the
first stop. The higher the GF Low % value is, the shallower the first stop occurs.
NOTE: If GF Low % value is too low, some tissues may still on-gas when the first stop
occurs.
GF High % eect on the dive profile is illustrated in the following picture. It shows how GF
High % determines the decompression time spent in the shallow phase of the dive. The
higher the GF High % value is, the shorter the total dive time is, and the less time diver spend
in shallow water. If GF High % is set to a lower value, the diver spends more time in shallow
water and total dive time gets longer.

4.10.3. Diver safety
Because any decompression model is purely theoretical and does not monitor the actual
body of a diver, no decompression model can guarantee the absence of DCS.
